  • Trump's Tariff Strategy Risks Long-Term Damage to US-China Relationship

    Trump's Tariff Strategy Risks Long-Term Damage to US-China Relationship
    May 5 2025
    Tariffs on many of China’s imports into the United States now stand at 145%; most U.S. imports into China face tariffs of 125%. While President Trump and senior U.S. officials insist a trade deal is within reach, China’s Commerce Ministry has stated that it will not engage in talks until U.S. tariffs are lifted. With Trump’s trade war threatening to derail the critical relationship, and China casting itself as a stable counterpart to Washington’s unpredictability, we talk with Harvard Professor Rana Mitter about what’s at stake, and how we got here.

  • Benicia Contends With Valero Refinery Closure

    Benicia Contends With Valero Refinery Closure
    May 5 2025
    Last month, Oil Giant Valero announced it would “restructure, or cease operations” at its Benicia refinery by the end of April 2026, as California transitions away from fossil fuels. The news left city officials, workers and residents scrambling to figure out what to do next. Valero is the city’s largest employer and a significant taxpayer, but also a source of pollution. We talk about the possible closure and what it means for our region. Guests: Julie Small, criminal justice reporter, KQED Severin Borenstein, professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and a faculty director of The Energy Institute at Haas Josh Sonnenfeld, senior California strategist, BlueGreen Alliance Steve Young, mayor, Benicia Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Night of Ideas: Author Laila Lalami on her Dystopian 'Dream Hotel'

    Night of Ideas: Author Laila Lalami on her Dystopian 'Dream Hotel'
    May 2 2025
    Laila Lalami’s new novel, “The Dream Hotel,” imagines a dystopian future where even our dreams are under surveillance. AI tools can scan our dreams to determine whether we’re likely to commit a crime, then we’re sent away to so-called “retention centers” to be monitored in the name of “safety.” Mina sat down with Lalami in April at Night of Ideas in San Francisco to talk about the timeliness and inspiration behind her story about a Los Angeles mother, caught in a web of government surveillance, detainment without charges and AI tools. We’ll hear that conversation. Guest: Laila Lalami, author of the new novel, "The Dream Hotel;" she’s the author of five other books including "The Moor’s Account" and "The Other Americans" Learn more about your ad choices.
